I am a keen observer of trends – in particular, trends in the luxury real estate sector in Dallas. In 2010, I am seeing a sharp increase in the number of home buyers looking for low-maintenance living – often in a townhome-style condominium community.
Buyers in the luxury market, however, are not seeking just any low-maintenance lifestyle, they are looking for the same level of amenities and superior location they have become accustomed to enjoying in their current, often much larger, luxury homes.
I recently listed several three-bedroom homes at Highland Gates on the Katy Trail. This community excels at offering buyers a low-maintenance lifestyle, but it also offers Lutron lighting, Viking and Asko appliance, Kohler sinks and tubs, granite and marble countertops and hand-scraped hardwoods in a prestigious Old Highland Park location. To top it off, Highland Gates offers access to the popular Katy Trail for exercising and the trendy Knox-Henderson neighborhood for dining and nightlife – all priced from $783,135!
This community gets it right – a low-maintenance lifestyle, a prestigious and convenient location and the high-end amenities today’s homebuyers desire. I can’t predict the future, but I’d be willing to bet that Highland Gates on Katy Trail offers a glimpse into the future of luxury living now.
